Yeah we have had 2 caregivers busted here in denver in the last few weeks, they also raided a lab that was testing thc levels for the dispenseries, the most recent they got 150 plants that were huge 5 to 6 feet tallhey so i just saw this article and figured id post it in case anyone hadnt seen it, ive noticed people getting more and more relaxed with the current state of affairs MMJ wise to the point of someone posting pictures of stacks of bills asking for a "legal" large scale purchase, and just wanted to say dont get too comfortable! oh also probably dont respond to that guys post
I've been telling people for months that it was bullshit, that they would start coming after MMJ patients, dispensaries, growers and the like. Just because it's legal at the state level doesn't mean shit to the federal govt. They've succeeded in lulling people in medicinal states into a false sense of security. It's a dirty trick on the part of the govt. but people need to realize that just because it's legal on the state level means absolutely nothing to the feds and they will start coming after patients and dispensaries as evidenced by this article. It's complete bullshit!!!hey so i just saw this article and figured id post it in case anyone hadnt seen it, ive noticed people getting more and more relaxed with the current state of affairs MMJ wise to the point of someone posting pictures of stacks of bills asking for a "legal" large scale purchase, and just wanted to say dont get too comfortable! oh also probably dont respond to that guys post
denvers mmj scene was one of the first and is one of the strongest, the dea has and will continue to raid places in cali until/if weed is actually legalized - medicinally or otherwise, until then its a risk to grow and an even bigger one to grow with a false sense of security
That's exactly what I've been trying to tell some of these people in MMJ states that think they can't get into trouble. The only thing Cali has going for it is the sheer number of growers. There's so many that the DEA simply can't bust everybody. Obviously Obama either lied or he doesn't have control over his own people. Either way it just goes to show that virtually no politician can be trusted.
Under federal law posession of any amount of cannabis is illegal. They can choose to bust whomever they wish. It's illegal under federal law, period. That being said they typically go after the biggest and baddest. Maybe they aren't aware of the biggest because the big guy keeps his trap shut. If you are going to be going on tv bragging about your shit then you become a target, plain and simple. This guy got lulled into that false sense of security. He thought that just because he was legal under state law that the feds couldn't touch him. Wrong! They do what the hell they want when they want.
in principle, you could be charged federally for a minute amount of cannabis material
it's mostly state enforcement except for large amounts/# of plants
thats the first thing i noticed... that guy got exactly what he was askin for...
i think what you should say is they do what we let them do when they want... the people let "them" make the decisions because we wait til after the fact then complain and people let the T.V. do their thinking for them... you seem to feel pretty strongly about thing what efforts have you made other than typing an informal message to 100 or so potheads?Under federal law posession of any amount of cannabis is illegal.

Well, thousands of people around the world read these posts. I am an active member of NORML and MPP. I do feel strongly and am very active politically. I do my homework and try to vote for people who favor decriminalization or re-legalization. What have you done?
It's mainly about siezures. The more money and property they can sieze the more motivated they are. If they feel like you have something they can take, you're screwed.
